Yara Baas wilde graag een cursus kritisch denken bij mij volgen. Ik antwoordde dat ik alleen praktijk-cursussen aanbiedt, en dat mijn enige voorwaarde zou zijn dat ik de video wil publiceren indien ze tevreden is met het resultaat. Omdat Yara zelf ook video's maakt voor VPRO, leek het ons niet ongepast om voor de eerste cursusdag het nieuwe satirische paradepaardje van de omroep als oefenmateriaal te nemen...***Steun Open Geesten / Zomergeesten / Boze Geesten Podcast

Send us a textAfter premiering in the Ustiniv Studio at Theatre Royal Bath in 2022, SHOWMANISM is making its London premiere at Hampstead Theatre. The show has been described as a kaleidoscopic journey through theatre and its history, and will also mark Dickie Beau's fourth venture into Hampstead Theatre, a place which he describes fondly as his latest show prepares to open. Indeed, it was only earlier this year when he was starring opposite Simon Russell Beale in an acclaimed revival of 'The Invention of Love'. In this way, it seems that there will likely be an ongoing partnership between him and the theatre, with Hampstead's audiences continuing to be blown away by his performances.In this brand new interview with Dickie Beau, he tells us about the origins of SHOWMANISM and how he began by thinking of theatres as sacred, communal spaces. We talked about his unique process of using technology in his shows as he transforms himself into various esteemed actors including Sir Ian McKellen and Fiona Shaw. Over the course of our conversation, Dickie opens up about his love for actors and for live theatre before discussing his hopes for how audiences will come away from the show having had a fundamentally human experience.SHOWMANISM opens at Hampstead Theatre on 18 June and runs till 12 July 2025.Support the show

Simon Morris looks at three films that owe their audiences to attractive casts – Kate Winslet in the Oscar hopeful Lee…. a star-studded comedy drama, The Critic featuring Sir Ian McKellen and Gemma Arterton…. And a Netflix true-crime thriller, starring and directed by Anna Kendrick.
The Critic features Sir Ian McKellen as a much-feared theatre critic who'll do anything to keep his job, no matter who gets hurt. Also starring Gemma Arterton (Byzantium), Mark Strong (Kingsman) and Lesley Manville (Mrs Harris Goes To Paris).
British actress and producer Gemma Arterton has led a long-running and diverse acting career, with many roles to her name. She made her film debut in the 2007 comedy St Trinian's and made her mark in the 2008 blockbuster Quantum of Solace as a Bond Girl. Since then, she's gone on to star in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Clash of the Titans, The King's Man, and Rogue Agent - and she stars in the TV series Funny Woman. Her newest role sees her playing a budding actress being blackmailed by a powerful critic in the 1930's-set thriller The Critic. She says she was drawn to the role when she first got word of it - and working with Sir Ian McKellen was a 'privilege'. "It was one of the biggest privileges of my whole life, really, working with him - so it was a no-brainer, really." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bush & Richie were joined by the legendary Sir Ian McKellen.Gandalf himself spoke to the Hometime boys about his new film the Critic, which is all about a powerful theatre reviewer. They also couldn't help but ask Ian for his thoughts on the recent news of Oasis's reunion…
This week's guest is the one and only Sir Ian McKellen, who is on the show to very eloquently tell Simon all about his starring role in ‘The Critic', a period thriller in which a powerful – and pompous – London theatre critic lures a struggling actress into a blackmail scheme that has deadly consequences. Mark also weighs in on the film, as well as reviewing ‘Lee', a Kate Winslet-starring biopic of photographer Elizabeth ‘Lee' Miller, a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II; ‘Speak No Evil', a psychological thriller with James McAvoy, which sees an American family's dream holiday turn into a living nightmare when they spend a weekend at a British family's idyllic country estate; and ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice', the long-awaited sequel to Tim Burton's beloved 1988 comedy horror classic, which sees the mischievous poltergeist Beetlejuice return for more supernatural chaos, as a new family stumbles upon his bizarre afterlife realm.

Sir Ian McKellen didn't mince words in a recent interview, where he called Elizabeth "bloody rude" and shared some sharp takes on other members of the Royal Family. Despite having met the Queen multiple times and receiving honors from her, including a Companion of Honour in 2007, McKellen recalled a particularly awkward moment. He saidThe Queen, I'm sure she was quite mad at the end. And on the few occasions I met her she was quite rude. When I received a medal for acting [the Companion of Honour in 2008], she said, ‘You've been doing this for an awfully long time.' I said, ‘Well, not as long as you.' I got a royal smile for that, but then she said, ‘Does anyone still actually go to the theatre?' That's bloody rude when you're giving someone a medal for acting. It meant, ‘Does anyone care a (eff) about you because I don't. Now off you go!'Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN?Thirty years ago this past summer, director Russell Mulcahy (Highlander, Ricochet) presented the answer to that question with a heavily hyped, lavish adaption of the popular radio show and comic strip of the same name from the '30's and 40's.....and audiences didn't seem to care, neither did critics for that matter. However over time, this art-deco fantasy action thriller has garnered a bit of a cult following thanks to it very strong cast, catchy score (from the late, great Jerry Goldsmith) and some undeniably fun images and set pieces. Alec Baldwin stars as Lamont Cranston, millionaire playboy who also moonlights as....The Shadow, fighting crime and getting to the bottom of evil conspiracies throughout his home city of New York. John Lone co-stars as the main villain Shiwan Khan (a distant descendent of Genghis Khan), Penelope Ann Miller also co-stars as mysterious psychic Margo Lane, along with Sir Ian McKellen as her father Dr. Reinhardt Lane. The stacked cast also includes Tim Curry, Jonathan Winters, and Peter Boyle. It's time to find out.....what THE SHADOW knows..... :o See below for a link to the official Taylor Dane video of a truly original song performed for this film's soundtrack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpWfd1BNkQHost: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Joe Stephenson is a British director who made his feature directorial debut with the 2015 film Chicken. His second film was the acclaimed 2018 documentary McKellen: Playing the Part about the life and career of Sir Ian McKellen. Joe's third film is, Doctor Jekyll, an adaptation of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde starring Eddie Izzard from Hammer Films.In this episode, Joe and I delve into the process of reimagining a classic horror story with a modern twist, working with the legendary Eddie Izzard, as well as the past, present and future of Hammer Films. We also get into the many challenges of shooting on a tight budget, how to select locations when shooting in one location, and the hurdles Joe overcame, including epic storms and COVID-19.Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Joe Stephenson.Improvisation Can be MagicalJoe's approach to directing Doctor Jekyll focused on creating an environment where actors could infuse their own creativity into their performances, especially with the movie's star, Eddie Izzard, whose improvisational skills added a unique energy to the character and film. Joe enabled improvisation by first having the actors perform the scenes exactly as they were written in the script, ensuring that they had a solid, reliable version in the can. Only after that was done did he encourage the actors to experiment with their lines and actions, exploring different ways of delivering the scene. This approach gave the film the best of both worlds: a faithful representation of the script and the discovery of new, spontaneous moments. This is a great approach, especially when working with megawatt talents like Eddie Izzard, who can bring more to the scene than is in the script.Find Unique LocationsJoe wanted a location that hadn't been overexposed in other films, and Stanford House near Rugby, UK, provided the perfect setting with its distinctive and untouched appearance, adding to the film's uniquely creepy atmosphere. Shooting in a single location like Stanford House offered multiple benefits. The house's grand, eerie presence played a significant role in setting the film's tone and allowed for visual consistency. Joe also housed the actors on-site, which helped them immerse themselves even more deeply in their roles and the movie's tone.Directing is Problem SolvingThe production of Doctor Jekyll faced numerous unforeseen challenges, from weather issues to the impact of COVID-19. Dealing with the unpredictable English weather forced the crew to constantly adjust their shooting schedule, including canceling a crane shoot due to a severe storm. COVID-19 added another layer of complexity. When the film's gaffer tested positive, a replacement had to be brought in who hadn't worked with the DOP before, disrupting the established workflow and adding stress to an already tight schedule. These challenges, coupled with budget constraints, meant the production was under constant pressure. However, Joe's ability to stay calm and adaptive helped keep the film on track. As my guests have illustrated time and time again, most of filmmaking comes down to being adaptable and resilient, as things will inevitably go wrong, especially on low-budget movies.SHOW NOTESMovies:Doctor JekyllChickenGreat ExpectationsMidas ManBooks/Novellas:Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis StevensonFollow Joe Stephenson at:Instagram: www.instagram.com/joestephenson/X (Twitter):

Today marks the 25th anniversary of Apt Pupil, the 1998 Stephen King adaptation that stars the late Brad Renfro and Sir Ian McKellen. Admittedly, it's a very controversial film to discuss, but to their credit, our friends Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman of the Horror Queers braved the unnerving themes and backstories within the production. They also invited our co-host Jenn Adams along to help 'em out. So, we thought: Why not shed a light on the film -- consider it a Long Watch -- and give our network pals the spotlight, too. Win-win. If you dig this episode, do not hesitate to subscribe to the Horror Queers wherever you get podcasts. They're brilliant.

Beloved icon of stage and screen, my guest today is the singular Sir Patrick Stewart. The knighted Shakespeare thespian, captain of the Starship Enterprise, international treasure, and master storyteller is here and brings conversational delights lifted from 83 years of life. Today Patrick shares tales from his humble beginnings, how theatre saved him, and how childhood trauma informed his career and led to his passion for mental health advocacy. We also discuss legacy, longevity, honing your craft, the importance of mentorship, and his unique friendship with Sir Ian McKellen. We of course dive into some epic Star Trek stories and explore why the series is so indelible—which naturally led to thoughts on UFOs and the ghost that he is absolutely convinced took up residence in his Silverlake home. The occasion for today's exchange is Patrick's brand new memoir, Making It So—an excellent read that traces the improbable story of his life from his humble beginnings in Yorkshire, England, to the heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim. They say never meet your heroes. I disagree. As a long-time Trekkie, this was a pinch-me moment. It was an absolute pleasure and honor to talk with a man I respect and admire tremendously. Enjoy!
